Congratulations to Rebecca John, our Heart FM Model Winner!


Over the last fortnight Cheltenham Fashion Week and Heart FM scoured the county in search of a listener to model in our Who wants to be a Milliner event. 

The evening of Wednesday 19th September will see three top milliners compete in a "Ready, Steady, Cook" style as guests enjoy an evening of champagne and a sumptuous supper at luxury boutique Cotswold hotel, Cowley Manor. Yesterday, each milliner was delivered a bag of top secret materials to plan their creations in time for next Wednesday. Their mission is to create a fabulous hat for Spring/Summer to be auctioned off in aid of our chosen charity, Hop, Skip and Jump

After floods of entries, Heart FM producer, Anna and Cheltenham Fashion Week founder, Sam handpicked their favorite winner. With tough competition, the pair selected young mum, Rebecca John.  Announcing the news live on air, i met with a very nervous Rebecca for a fitting at LK Bennett. The Cheltenham branch have very kindly agreed to loan Rebecca one of their stunning dresses and a pair of high flying heels to wear on her catwalk debut at Cowley Manor.  



The brief was black, and with endorsements from the Duchess of Cambridge and the little black dress a signature style for LK Bennett we knew we in the right place. The wonderfully helpful staff of The Promenade store, Corrina & Cheryl, gave Rebecca a personal shopping experience to help her select from the latest Autumn/Winter collection currently available in store.  



After trying on the best black of the collection, Rebecca finally decided on the simple yet stunning Lara lace and silk dress. Priced at £245 the showstopping dress flatters Rebecca's figure perfectly, accentuating her curves and enhancing her silhouette with cinched detail around the waist and square neckline.


From the wide choice of shoes on the shelves, Rebecca was undecided on which pair to choose, but after much deliberation she finally settled on the Harper heel. With a brushed suede finish and priced at £195 the pair go perfectly with any outfit, a true staple piece for any wardrobe!


Dressed to the nines and ready for her catwalk debut, an excited Rebecca truly can't wait for Wednesday, and neither can we! Rebecca will be pampered to perfection with professional hair and makeup on the day, courtesy of The Stuart Holmes Hair and Beauty Spa. To find out how Rebecca gets on listen out to Heart FM next week for more updates. 



And if all this shopping has got that credit card twitching, Cheltenham Fashion Week Award Winner, Keith Scarrott will be offering their customers an extra 10% discount for Cheltenham Fashion Week only (17-21 September). If you're an online shopper simply quote the code, CFW2012. So what more persuasion does a girl need to buy shoes!
